Burnes (3-4) allowed four hits over seven shutout innings Sunday, striking out 13 and earning a win over the Diamondbacks.
Burnes has been dominant for most of the 2021 campaign, but Friday's performance was his best of the season. He fanned a season-high 13 batters in his longest outing to date. All four hits against him were singles, and only one Diamondback reached scoring position. The 26-year-old lowered his season ERA to 1.97 alongside an outrageous 94:7 K:BB. Burnes is lined up for another promising matchup next weekend at home against the Pirates.
